Serendipity: Intro

The Aperture Science and Math university was well known for 2 things:
First of all, this academy was the best known to mankind.

The students it delivered were state of the art and went on to do great things, whether they deserved it or not.

Everybody who wanted to mean something in the future would went to Aperture, to study one of their two educations.

You could either choose for more math, or more science. There was a lot of attention for languages too, and every student got basic computer skills.
Actually, you got everything. Aperture got away with giving it's students more hours than were allowed, but that's what you get when you wanne be the future.

Secondly, the school was also known for being a dumphole for rich teenagers who had no real ambition or even a brain.

It would be an understatement to suggest Aperture was a school you could easily buy your way into.

It would be an even greater understatement to say that 75 % of the students were rich but clueless.

This caused that you could devide the students into 3 groups.

The group of medium size, included the students with less to no brain, but a pocket full of cash and a personal driver waiting outside.
The largest group of students were people who had a brain, though never enough to keep up with Aperture standerds. Again, most of these students had 2 houses and a mercedes.

Last, you had a very small group of people who actually deserved their place in the university, having the wits to keep up with the amazingly hard testing. May it be noted that most of these students also carried a nice wallet.

This, of course, was all in favour of Cave Johnson, founder and principal of the Aperture Science and Math university.
As his motavational speeches inquired there were 3 things Cave adored.
His personal assistent and student counciler Caroline, who was also his wife.
Lemons, Especially when they were combustible, no-one knew what that was about.

And Testing.

Oh, how he loved testing things and people alike.

Written exams where given on a daily bases at Aperture.

Also physical and medical examinations were taken of every student each month.

To an outsider this may seem strange, It was kind of weird come to think of it...

The students went with it anyway, because there were'nt many other options.

Most of them stayed at school during weekends or even vacations, as they had come from every possible wind direction, from all over the world.
The school had a large dorm attached to it however, so it was no problem.

Indeed, Aperture science and math university was well known, yet it gave of a mysterious vibe. Like something dark was lurking behind it.
A well kept secret, known by few but felt by many, was waiting to show it's face.

How soon, only the future would tell...
